Kamakura Day Trip Guide: Temples, Trains, and Seaside Chill

Just an hour from Tokyo, Kamakura blends ancient heritage with surf-town charm. Think coastal hikes, cute cafés, slow trains, and golden sunsets. It’s the perfect escape for a dreamy day out. --- 🌿 Morning: Temples & a Pancake Breakfast * Start your day at Eeny Breakfast, a cozy spot known for its fluffy pancakes and good coffee—perfect fuel before exploring. * Head to Hasedera Temple, known for its sea views and peaceful garden paths. If you're visiting in June, don’t miss the stunning hydrangeas. * Just a short walk away is the Great Buddha (Daibutsu)—a serene and iconic symbol of Kamakura. --- 🚋 Afternoon: Coastal Cafés & Local Scenes * Ride the charming Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway)—a nostalgic local train that rattles past homes, beaches, and temples. * Stop at Kamakura Kōkō-mae Station for a quick photo at the Slam Dunk anime crossing—a cult-favourite spot with views of the sea and passing trains. * Drop by Breeze Bird Café near the coast, a minimalist gem serving coffee, cakes, and chilled beach-town vibes. --- 🌅 Evening: Sunset with a View * Make your way to Cape Inamuragasaki for a peaceful end to the day. It’s one of the best places to catch the sunset—and on a clear day, you might even see Mount Fuji in the distance. * Bring a drink or light bites and sit by the shore as the sky turns pink and orange. --- Kamakura isn’t just a historic town—it’s a state of mind. It’s where you slow down, hop on an old train, eat pancakes by the sea, and catch the sunset with your feet in the sand. Whether you’re here for temples or just the vibe, Kamakura always delivers.
